Hi, my name is Guillaume.I’m an Engineer and I like data too. And also now an Entrepreneur (Musiwave, Scoop.it)
We Engineers love algorithms.
In 1993, I built a neural networkalgorithm… …to predict stock market performance
This is where I’d be if it had worked
People produce a lot of data
And yes, algorithm can filter/computedata.
But smart systems use people to correctdata.
And people like to do it.
Most people don’t understandalgorithms.
But they can understand people who understand data.
Data doesn’t distribute itself.
People do.
The Content Curation problem I’m talking to you! I’m looking for you!
Web Content in 1995. Curated.
Web Content in 1997. Algorithmed.

Humanrithm: why data without people is not enough

Slides of my talk at DataWeek 2012 - We engineers love data and algorithms. They help create amazing things. But if and when we forget that people create data and that data can be improved by people, we will miss the promise of Big Data. It's time we all thought of this not as social vs algorithm but as humanrithm.
